agile quotes

In an ideal world, things would always go to plan – but since we don’t live in an ideal world, they don’t; hence why the best-laid plans of project managers often go awry.

More often than not, detailed plans laid out on neat charts projecting months (even years) into the future, tend to describe a fictional reality; and perfect plans tend to describe fictional realities perfectly. Because no matter how much time, effort and care goes into planning aproject, sooner or later, something’s likely to deviate from the plan.

That’s not to say we shouldn’t plan – we should.

But instead of trying to create a ‘perfect plan’ in detail upfront, it’s better to start with a plausible plan and refine that plan throughout the lifetime of the project; because when you refine your plans to reflect reality (rather than trying to get reality to reflect your plans), you’re more likely to achieve your project objectives.
